Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 50 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 30 g chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 small pieces marshmallows (optional)
- 4 foil sheets
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven or grill to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Take the bananas and carefully make a single slit down the length of each banana peel using a knife, making sure not to cut through to the bottom.
Step 3
Gently open up the slit in the banana peel and banana flesh, creating a small pocket.
Step 4
Fill the pocket with chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. For a sweeter touch, you can also add a small marshmallow to each banana.
Step 5
Wrap each stuffed banana tightly in a sheet of foil to ensure the fillings stay in place during cooking.
Step 6
Place the foil-wrapped bananas on a baking sheet (if using an oven) or directly on the grill grates.
Step 7
Cook for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has melted and the bananas are soft and caramelized.
Step 8
Carefully remove the bananas from the oven or grill, and let them cool for a couple of minutes before unwrapping the foil.
Step 9
Serve the stuffed bananas warm as they are, or pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-indulgent treat!
